Snapchat is building a way for people to use their Snapchat account to connect with third-party apps. The idea, in theory, would let Snapchat users grant outside companies access to their Snapchat data to help personalize other services.

Until now, Snap has stayed pretty far out of the spotlight when it comes to data collection and user privacy, probably because so many of the interactions on Snap are in private messages. (And many of its users are smartphone natives who may better understand what they’re handing over — or simply not care.) Snapchat doesn’t use private messaging info for ad targeting, and the company claims it does other things to protect user privacy. Its ads API doesn’t give personally identifiable information out to marketers, for example, and ad measurment results are only shared in aggregate, according to a spokesperson.


Towards the bottom of the article, the acknowledgement that the SnapChat company is an advertising company (advertising what I wonder). SnapChat, like any other company, needs to make money in order to prosper. Where do you think SnapChat draws their revenue stream from?
 


If you break up the sentence, taking the hyphen into account, the sentences separate into other significant numbers.
 


137 is the 33rd prime number; Masonry = 33. Mafia = 33

Snapchat currently has an advertising API so people can buy ads through third-party dashboards, but it doesn’t let people use their Snapchat account on other apps, or help people connect with their Snapchat friends on other platforms.

 373 is the 74th prime number; Masonic = 74

We saw this 164 number in the previous blog post.
